"Mortal Kombat 1 Unveils Secret Fighter Linked to Iconic Rock Band"

This week, *Mortal Kombat 1* enthusiasts were thrilled with a significant update that not only introduced Conan the Barbarian to the roster but also brought an unannounced and intriguing addition: a ninja clad in pink named Floyd. While it might seem like a playful Easter egg, Floyd is a legitimate secret fighter within the game.

Floyd serves as a nod to the iconic rock band, Pink Floyd, specifically referencing the album cover of *The Dark Side of the Moon*, which famously depicts the dispersion of light into multiple colors. In the game, Floyd's moveset is a blend of abilities borrowed from other ninjas. For instance, he can freeze opponents like Sub-Zero or deploy spears akin to Scorpion. A quirky detail is that Floyd has precisely 1337 health points, a playful reference to "leet" culture.

For long-time fans of the franchise, Floyd's introduction might evoke memories of Reptile, the secret fighter from the original *Mortal Kombat*. Like Reptile, whose moves were also a compilation of other ninjas' techniques and who was notoriously challenging to defeat, Floyd brings a sense of nostalgia and excitement.

The *Mortal Kombat 1* community is currently on a quest to unlock encounters with Floyd, which appear to be somewhat random at the moment. Although Floyd drops hints about the challenges that need to be completed to face him, the exact method to trigger these encounters remains unconfirmed.
